Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1128033A2] A diagnosis system for an engine (100) including an exhaust pipe (10), a hydrocarbon (HC) absorbent (11) arranged within the exhaust pipe (10), an upstream air/fuel ratio sensor (12) arranged upstream of the HC absorbent (11) and detecting a wide range air/fuel ratio of an exhaust gas, a downstream air/fuel ratio sensor (13) arranged downstream of the HC absorbent (11) and detecting rich or lean with respect to stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gas, and a control unit (16), the control unit (16) includes means (31) for correcting an air/fuel ratio upstream of the HC absorbent (11), means (30) for correcting an air/fuel ratio downstream of the HC absorbent (11), and means (28) for predicting a HC absorbing amount of the HC absorbent (11), the means (31) for correcting the air/fuel ratio upstream of the HC absorbent (11) correcting and controlling an output value of the upstream air/fuel ratio sensor (12) toward lean, the means (28) for predicting the HC absorbing amount of the HC absorbent (11) predicting an absorbing performance of the HC absorbent (11) on the basis of a difference between an output value of the upstream air/fuel ratio sensor (12) and a predetermined value C during a period from a timing where a temperature of the HC absorbent (11) becomes higher than or equal to a predetermined value A and the output value of the upstream air/fuel ratio sensor (12) is corrected and controlled toward lean to a timing where the temperature becomes lower than or equal to a predetermined value B. <IMAGE>
